I’m playing the Zelda games in timeline order

I’m a huge Zelda sicko and recently — maybe it’s the buzz of Ocarina of Time being re-made — I’ve decided to play the games in timeline order. Well, almost, because I’ve already started Minish Cap, which also inspired this little challenge because I forgot how rad the four swords stuff is.

I’ve beaten a good portion of these games already over the years, but for this challenge, I’m going to beat them from scratch again. Yes, that includes the monstrous Breathe Of The Wild and Tears Of The Kingdom.

I’m not going to 100% each one because that’ll take forever. I’ve never 100% beaten a Zelda game either because I don’t have the patience. I got close with Tears Of The Kingdom tho!

I’ll play remasters/remakes where possible because SNES on the Analogue Pocket hasn’t been great for me. I’m not sure to do about the NES ones yet because I imagine I’ll experience similar issues. For 3DS releases, I need a device that’ll play them, like the AYN Thor, but I’ve got plenty of time to work that out in the order I’m playing the games in.

I’ve put the “tracker” (I guess) over on Tangled here. I’ll keep that up to date as I go!

To wrap up, please don’t be weird about this Zelda fans. I know we all have our own unique, radicalised views of the timelines 😅
